Admit it. You love Spam.
I guess it goes back to my PWT roots. Lunch today was spam, onion, tomato, black pepper and miracle whip on white bread. Yum!

2. I find it odd that a 12 oz can of spam costs $2.79
I can get ham for less.

12. Ha! At last, something that costs *less* in Hawai'i!
The classic 12 oz. can generally retails for about $1.99, less if it is on special (frequently).

It's 'cause we do a volume business in the stuff, I guess. It appears in the classic east-meets-west snack, the Spam musubi, which consists of a slice o' Spam on top of a block of sticky rice, wrapped with a strip of nori seaweed!

Then there's the place that offers it as a pizza topping...

3. I LOVE spam ...
I was in an article in the Boston Globe about it. Had a reporter over and my cousin and I talked about it and made spam and eggs. She wouldn't try it.

4. SPAM = Spiced Ham
At least, according to legend, that's what it means.

So, how about some alternative products from Hormel? Liks say:

Spurkey
Speef
Spicken
Spenison
Sputton
Sped Cheese

Hmmm, I seem to be at the end. Can you think of any more?

10. Hawaiians are nuts for the stuff, too.
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 01:09 PM by arbusto_baboso
You go into the 7-11's (or similar places) in Hawaii, and you'll find that they have "spam sushi" there. This consists of a slice os Spam between two layers of sushi-style rice.

Of course, it sits there under the warming lamps most of the day, and after a few hours the rice gets discolored from all the grease in the Spam....

YUM! :puke:
